Never heard of them, however i've had these for years and never had a single issue...my voice is crisp and clear to other players, they're comfortable for extended playtime, wireless and also a bit easier on the wallet.

That pair of headphones looks great.  It has everything I would want in a headphone.  microphone attached to headset, lots of foam padding to create depth, and wired for the best sound quality.  Only bad part is its not surround sound.

alright so what im going to do is this, get another pair of  but this time pair them up with the razor sound card, because i tested them out with out it and they didnt have enough bass, but we will see how they are with the sound card. Then some day save up for the Beyerdynamic Headzone Game Professional 5.1 Surround, they cost a pretty penny

I use a Triton AX360 on my xbox 360.  They have incredible surround sound, I wasnt expecting them to be that great to be honest.  had to throw out the digital fiber cable and use my own, but oh well.

Can be used on any console and PC. Comes with a Mic interface but I dont use it so its not attatched.  Not to mention the cord is 12 foot long, so it can be used on the couch or anywhere.  This was a good selling point for me since I wanted to avoid wireless at all costs.  Id recommend to you also, avoid wireless headsets.

I honestly think Razer headsets are better than Logitech. And I've had a $200 logitech one.

 

The Razer Piranha is the best headset I've owned. My voice is clear and crisp, and it doesn't f*ck up your hair like its counterpart, the Razer Barracuda does.

I don't use a headset... I couldn't find one that wasn't a comprimise of one sort of another.  I use a set of Shure SCL2 in ear monitors and a good mic mounted to my monitor.  The SCL2's come with 3 different kinds of inserts for your ears in three sizes each so you can get the fit and feel that you want.  They sound AMAZING.  I use them for gaming and listening to music.  They naturally block out about 90% of the sound around if not more.  Even on low volume settings a plane could crash next to you and you'd not notice if you had your eyes closed... or didn't end up on fire.  Heh.  Mine were about $80 when I got them a year or more ago.  Since then Shure has replaced this model with newer monitors.  $80 is about as cheap as you can get into Shure in ear monitors but they go up to around $500 or so.  If you're well off you can get custom made ear inserts made by an audiologist and NOTHING will fit better.  I play mostly FPS games so hearing what's going on around you and being able to pinpoint the source of a sound in match/competition play and the Shures have never let me down... Hell I even sleep with them in while listening to MP3s.  Extremely well made, amazing sound, very comfortable.  As close as you'll get to plugging sound directly into your brain.
